RIP Muriel Spark

It's really very sad. I like The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie an awful lot – it manages to pull off the trick of combining comic and tragic writing, something which far too many writers fall down on. A loss we should all feel, imho.

[This is the second in my blog series of celebrity obituaries that mean something to me; the first, on the old blog, was for Linda Smith. This series will hopefully not recur too soon.]
